    Jean waits for 17 minutes, in what felt like eternity until she saw Blake finally get onto the roof through the gigiantic dark brown willow tree that had been there long before she had been born .

“I knew it,” He said, with a laugh. “you can't go a month without me and Sheldon!”

    “I don't love the cowerd anymore.” Jean said, whather gloomy. “You are right, he’s a Scorpio.”

           “I am a Sagittarus,” Blake says, raising both hands in victory. “November 23 on 1990.”

    “Cancer, George W Bush is one too.” She adds, somewhat flirty. “July 4th, 1991.”

    Blake laughs.

    “Explains why your knee’s easily got scraped.” Blake said, reffering to their P.E. Games. “I swear Austin told me his Zodiac sign is a Pisces,most like on Febuary 25th because he remembers that number like a..hmm.. whats the word”?“

    “Photograph.” Jean said, giggling at his off and on good memory. “Wasn’t George Washington born on the twenty-fifth? I did a report on him at middle school.”

“Yeah, he was.” He said, looking at the stars and raises a eyebrow at her. “Sooo why did you call me?”

    Jean rumbles her phone from her pocket and hands the phone to him. “Before I answer, watch this little video.” She told him, through a whisper. “It will make you laugh.”

    Blake looked up to Jean and Back to the monitor, he rubbed his head at the sheer unexpected video showing her running through Egypt using a red laser light distracting a siamese cat simontensely.

Blake bursts out laughing.

       “I'm not kidding about the speed!” She  begins, flailing her arms. “I caught a gang of thieves who claimed to be 'The Steel Man’”

    Blakestops laughing.

           ‘Proove it.” He said, folding his arms against his chest and a whether  silly smile is on his face.

       “How?” Jean said,frowning. “I already showed you the vid. What, are you jumpin--”

Blake jumps off the roof, he gracefully landed on the ground without a hitch or problem to his feet like he also has some abilities of his own that never mentioned to the gang during their College years or the first time they met.

    “By racing me to the city!” The Man said, undoubtedly optimistic as he is fully aware Jean is unsure, since there is only two of them and the city is densely populated at night.

“But the thugs!” She said, providing an excuse

         “Thieves,smugglers, and mugglers, all the same.” Blake said, shrugging and sounded more older than he supposedly is for the comparison. “See ya at the tennis court!”

    Blake dashes away.

    Blake sounds...wiser.Jean sighs as she gets her moccasins on. Is it me or does this seem suspicious?

    “Wait for me!” Jean shouted, running after him since she jumped from the roof.

        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~''

    The streets of New Jersey foreshadow a light gray figure walking down the empty streets as he is whistling for a fellow Super Villain known around the globe as Werecouz, the  blue-green and black werewolf boy easily recognized by his blue hair and white tuff of fur around his neck.

“Where can the mutt possible be?” The figure muttered to himself, looking down towards the shady street, then he hears Jean and Blake's laughter fill the empty street. “Crap,human couples.”

He hides in a dark ally, then becomes part of the wall blending to it like a chameleon.

    Blake laughs, stopping at the street corner.

“You are fast!” He admits,taking a breath.

    “And I showed you so.” She response, leaning agianst the wall

    “Like a blurr.” He said, his eyes glittering. “You should become a superhero, I dub you as...Speedywoman!”

       “Speedywoman?” Jean asks,tilting her head.

    “A Flash combination of Spiderman.” He said,holding his hands up like he is holding a picture frame. “Just imagine!”

    Jean yawns, a little tired.

    Blake goes on.

“You would have a mainly black and green design,” He explains, taking his cell phone out and began to text.”but the purpleness would be the feminine side shown off and the chest would have a symbol imprinted with the initials...SP.”

       “ Would I  need..” She begins, in a sarcastic tone. “Something to cover my eyes or face?

“Austin will help on that part.” He said, a smile on his face as he sent the message. “He’s very good at designing costumes.”

.

can it be possible...The Steel Man begins thinking. He has become..human?

“Jean, can you fly?”  Blake randomly asks Jean, putting his phone away.

    Jean just blinked.

    “No,” She said, giving a not-satisfied look. “I have a big fear for heights.”

    The Steel man silently starts to back out of the shadows from behind blake, his eyes glow a evil red.

Jean is frightened.

“L--Look behind you!” Jean stuttered,pointing her hand to his back.

    Blake slowly turns around,where he saw the Gray Steel metal man wearing a black costume reaching to his neck  that has some silver streaks at the chest and arms as there is a light gray symbol on his left arm. Blake steps away.

“Hello,” The Steel man sinisterly smiled. “old friend.”

“I-i-i-t's The Steel Man!” The man said, backing away more as his friend is frozen in place.

“Ah,I see,” The Steel Man said in his deep voice, having a Eureka moment upon noticing Jean and Blake together. “you lost your memory to become human. tsk, tsk,tsk. makes it more easy.”

He uses his  metal powers throwing a trash can at BLAKE's direction and the object hits the man sending him to the wall hard.

“Blake!” Jean shouts, her head turned to his direction and switches her eye sight to the steel-like man.”Listen, I don't know who you are or where you came from. but you can't just make wild claims about people being somebody else!”

As she is speaking, Blake’s body is glowing a electric yellow slowly making his body consuming and flowing static

       “Sadly...” The Steel Man begins, using his metal ability to throw a trash can lid straight at her forehead where it made the same scar like last month from the bunk-bed Jean hit her head on. “I'm right”.

    The Steel man turns his head towards the yellow figure emitting static from his body and the sounds belonging to a broken telephone line spilled into the scenery’s atmosphere making it seemingly awesome.

    “I see, you adapted into the human structure.’ The steel man said, holding two glowing balls of liquid metal in both hands. “Fighting you as a human, this will be fun.”

    You can guess he is mad for someone to hit a friend of his, because Blake is angry.
